Abstract	This paper is a critical review of the trends of globalization in African international relations in the twenty-first century. In an earlier article on "Regionalism and Integration in Sub-Sahara Africa at the close of the twentieth century" – there was a critical evaluation of the causes and consequences of a globalizing world. But confronted with the number of international challenges-climate change, pandemics, cyber security, gridlock at the UN and migration-which spill over national boundaries, is globalization fractured or evolving as a phenomenon? How do the latest waves of globalization explain the critical catalysts of anti-globalization sentiments on the African continent? If so how can African governments, including the African Union (AU) deal with these drivers of deglobalization?
